¡Que haya debate sin ruido! ¡Por favor!

Trabajo que se erige como apoyo a la clase política en su conjunto y al debate como única forma racional de construcción social, contra el ruido que lo enturbia. Se desenvuelve con una metáfora en la que se compara el «ruido» del Congreso de los Diputados con el ruido de un aula escolar y un archivo de arte sonoro que representa este ruido. La primera parte, la metáfora, se basa en las observaciones sobre la dinámica de un grupo de alumnos de segundo de la ESO en Albatera, Alicante, por la propia autora, que convierte las notas para la intervención educativa en pautas para reducir el boicoteo en el Congreso. El archivo de sonido se explica en otra entrada. La autora se presenta a sí misma en el pasado como inmadura y ruidosa, presenta los ruidos con los nombres de los personajes de Reservoir Dogs, de Tarantino. Por último, compara el trayecto fallido del político con el de Lope de Aguirre, poniendo así en valor su enorme dificultad, a la vez intelectual y humana.

5. What does my ‘I’ mean if science = common-sense & art = waste-of-time?

The author begins by disqualifying her academic backgrounds as an educational psychologist and an artist, stating that the former is based purely on «common sense» and the latter is a «waste of time» (both mere «smoke»—or vapor). However, she then opens a door to self-affirmation, arguing that if the purpose of science is to find meaning beyond common sense, and the role of art is to act upon the viewer, then both art and science can serve a purpose—for instance, interpreting a text about a boycott among children as a metaphor for boycotts in adult groups. She concludes by encouraging herself to continue defending her position.

4. Portrait of an ordinary child

The author defends ideas that have been central to her professional trajectory as an educational psychologist, primarily two: the child as a comprehensible counterpart to the adult, and the school environment as a comprehensible counterpart to the world. Both—child and school—serve as metaphors for humanity and society. She also presents the psycho-pedagogical report as a «case study», a study that, despite acknowledging its limitations (mainly due to the lack of qualification of its authors and time constraints in its execution), holds great value as the most scientific approach imaginable to understanding the truth of a human being. She defends both positions and criticizes the statu quo for considering the data gathered in these documents solely for decision-making purposes, rather than recognizing them as invaluable sources for understanding the nature of individuals and societies.

3. Numbered nightmare without crying

Created from a state of consciousness not anchored in wakefulness, this work consists of a series of statements that denounce the «theft of meaning»—an expression of non-emotional despair within the frame of a wrinkled mouth speaking, whose discourse is interrupted only once. It is a textual work, because the text is magnificent. Performative, because its presence is bold and disruptive. And plastic, because the drawings and diagrams that accompany it hold meaning aligned with the other areas of expression.
